Why talk about menopause at work? And why now? In this webinar, Thea will be covering the business, legal, demographic and social responsibility case.

• The facts - what is menopause and how does it affect women? Women themselves can feel in the dark about the range of symptoms that this life-stage can bring. We cover the upsides as well as the challenges.
• How menopause affects work and how work-related factors affect menopause.
• What working women say they want. Based on published research as well as interviews.
• Practical first steps for workplaces interested in putting menopause on their agenda.

Attendees will come away with:

• an understanding of the business case for menopause awareness in workplaces
• greater insight into the lived experience of working through menopause
• increased confidence in starting conversations about menopause in their own workplace
• ideas about the practical forms of support workplaces can offer.
• selected tools to get started.
